Scooters arrived!!

It seemed to take forever for our scooters to come in. Well, you know how it is. We were kind of like kids at Christmas on the count-down. :) Jeff ordered one scooter, but when it came in it was too short for his feet to fit on top of it, so he had to re-order. He was fortunate enough to be able to order his through a local medi-home office and they delivered it right inside the front door assembled and ready to go. Lucky little twerp. I ordered one through another company online and it turned out to be on backorder for months (yes, literally) so I had to re-order another one! Finally the great day arrived and mine came by truck. And here's how they left it:

Now, I know I don't need to remind you that this is a mobility scooter. So any twit knows that the person using it is handicap. Oh, yes, let's not forget that it weighs over 300 lbs. And that box is on a pallet and it's sitting next to the street. No, he would not move it 10 ft with his dolly-cart next to the ramp. My Pitt-Ohio experience was not good. It got even worse when I opened up the packing slip and it read INSIDE DELIVERY. hmmm.....did he think that meant barely inside the yard? Lucky us, we have a wonderful neighbor who came running and helped us unpack it right there in the yard and fortunately, it was "mostly" assembled and we pushed everything up the ramp. I do have to say though, the company Spinlife is wonderful and I have talked to several wonderful reps there. They gave me a discount and even sent me a free scooter cover for all my problems!

Welcome...

ON THE ROAD WITH BLOOMERS AND DRAWERS...a simple little blog about scooterin'. :) It started out as an RV travel blog, but the economy went south and the lotto numbers didn't match, so all we could afford were scooters instead of the big ol' RV. Join us in our adventures of one old geezer and his lovely "craft-crazy" wife ;) as we scooter our handicap butts around and find the truth about "handicap accessiblity".
